No, I do not have any card readers so far, because I've had no need for them. I come back with my camera and load the stuff to the PC directly. I've had no longer trips for quite a while and no backup cards. Only daytrips to close locations, where one card is perfectly adequate. Even so I'm overloaded with images. HD-s and CD-s are pushing me out of my study. Trying to reanimate the fossile AMD K6-2 is more of sports question. And the need to do my payjob from home - editing/translating work. OpenOffice, whatever version, works well enough for that, so I can postpone my shooting for some weeks until the laptop will be back from the maintenance (and then perhaps even able to write DVD-s, that is wasn't, when I sent it there). But thanks anyway! Peeter
